Race 21 in the 2008 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Season
|

The clock is ticking on the 2008 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season and Johnny Benson's hopes to reverse a month-long slide and take back the points lead from three-time and defending series champ Ron Hornaday Jr. In the last four races, Benson has seen a 119-point lead turn into a 39-point deficit on the strength of Hornaday's two victories and second- and fifth-place finishes in that stretch. With the truckers headed to Martinsville Speedway for Saturday's Kroger 200, race No. 21 of 25 on the NCTS schedule, Hornaday and Benson will continue their season-long battle for supremacy.

Ron Hornaday Jr. will lead the pack at the Kroger 200 at Martinsville this afternoon after posting a time of 19.816 seconds around the half mile track for a speed of 95.554 MPH. Starting second this afternoon will be the No. 30 Tundra of Todd Bodine with Hornaday's team owner Kevin Harvick starting third. The highest qualifying Ford of rookie Colin Braun starts fourth and former points leader Johnny Benson rounds out the top five in his Toyota Tundra. The rest of the top ten includes short track master Dennis Setzer starting 6th, Rick Crawford Timothy Peters, Jamie McMurray and Terry Cook rounding out the top 10.(Jason Smith/Getty Images/NASCAR Photo)

Ron Hornaday led the first 154 of 200 scheduled laps in Saturday's Kroger 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Martinsville Speedway, but it was Johnny Benson who was there when it mattered, taking the race victory and with it the series points lead in a stunning late-race reversal of fortune. Benson went low in Turn 3 and put his unsponsored Bill Davis Racing Toyota under Hornaday and into the lead on Lap 155, a margin he would never surrender as he would go to win his fifth NCTS race of the year and 14th of his career. Hornaday ran out of gas on a Lap 196 restart, while running second and now unofficially Benson leads the title Chase by 65 points with four races to go. Hornaday was credited with a 29th-place finish. (Jason Smith/Getty Images/NASCAR Photo)

It's still four races too early to say whether or not Saturday's Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway will be remembered as the race that cost Ron Hornaday Jr. the 2008 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship and a place in history, or whether it was the race where Johnny Benson solidified his charge to a first title. No, there's still way too much that can happen in the last four races, a stretch that spans from Atlanta to Fort Worth to Phoenix and on to the Florida Keys. If there's anything that this season has demonstrated is that when it comes to the truckers, anything and everything can and will happen.

Hello again, fans. Well, this past weekend at Martinsville wasn't what we were looking for. We ran out of gas with three laps to go and ended up finishing 29th. But like I said after the race, we win as a team and we lose as a team so we just have to take it and go on to the next one... (Marc Serota/Getty Images/NASCAR Photo)
